[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

[Denny Fisher]

I got an email too. Looks like I ordered Jojo Rabbit 4K just in time.


Care to share your friends

There are forum members on here from Australia. It is mutually beneficial for both parties to pick up titles for each other.
The same goes with the USA.
In fact yesterday I befriended another Australian on Twitter whilst talking about a release on mvm.

Right Stuf has shipped my Emma Kickstarter.

 

[Girls wIth Guns]

Yep, my Emma Kickstarter is (slowly) on it's way to me. I have all kinds of orders from Rightstuf and AOL out there lost in the massive COVID/Christmas backup somewhere, some sitting for 10+ days at different mail hubs, so who knows when it will finally arrive. I kind of wish Rightstuf would have just waited until sometime after the new year to ship Emma out, so there would have been less chance for it to get lost or damaged with the huge mail backlog we have right now.

Wonder if this is why animelog haven't uploaded it globally with it currently being region locked to Japan

Do Madman's Sailor Moon blu-rays look as bad as the US ones?

 

[thedoctor2016]

No they are based on the JP ones. There S1-S DVDs were based on the Italians DVDs so we were very good. Then SuperS onwards DVDs are also based on the JP BD.

 

[Dai]

Good to know, thanks. Whenever I import anime, I always end up defaulting to the US and forget to check if Australia has a better option, which is weird because I bought a bunch of Madman DVDs years ago when I was filling in the gaps in my Godzilla collection. Fortunately I've only bought Sailor Moon R from the US versions so far.

Might pickup Submarine Super 99. I just ordered the Odeo CE from AOL, so don't need a barebones release. Also already have the Funimation LE box of Fujiko Mine.

Looks like Sentai has acquired the rights to the 2006 series Nana from studio Madhouse after it was spotted being among the trailers available on the Girls und Panzer Anzio Battle 2021 re-release.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1353294275354779649

Nana was released by Viz Media many years ago and is one of those titles that had yet to be re-released ever since.

 

[Girls wIth Guns]

I got lucky and purchased the four DVD sets for Nana less than a week before set 2 went OOP about 5 years ago, but to have it on Blu-ray, even as a decent upscale, would be great - and a Premium Edition set would be awesome!

What's the "explicit content"?

What's the "explicit content"?

I don't recall anything overtly explicit being shown but there is quite a bit of sex in Nana.

The trailer does not seem to be on any of the other December or January Sentai releases, so hopefully it's not just a mistake on only this menu... Fingers crossed!

 

[Glorian]

I'd say that the chances of them accidentally including the trailer to a show they don't have is basically zero. So they have Nana, that's pretty much certain. It's really just a question of when they release it at this point, not if. The fact that we've seen a trailer for it (when we haven't for, say, Kaiji) suggests it could be coming sooner rather than later.
